. Atlas and zoogeography of common fishes in the Bering Sea and Northeastern Pacific / M. James Allen, Gary B. Smith. Fishes Bering Sea Geographical RAINBOW SMELT, Osmerus mordax (Mitchill 1814) Osmeridae: Smelts Literature Found in the North Pacific from Wonsan, North Korea, and the Sea of Okhotsk, to Barkley Sound, British Columbia, north along both the Asiatic and American coasts of the Bering Sea to the Arctic (Hart 1973; Lee et al. 1980). Arctic range extends west to the White Sea and east to Bathurst Inlet, Canada. North Atlantic range extends south along the American coast from Lake Melville, Labrador, to the Delaware River, Pennsylvania (and questionably to Virginia), and inland along the Saint Lawrence River to Lake Superior. The rainbow smelt is replaced on the European coast by the European smelt, Osmerus eperlanus Linnaeus 1758 (Lee et al. 1980). A pelagic and anadromous species, migrating up to 1000 km upstream, with some populations strictly freshwater (Lee et al. 1980; Morrow 1980). Reported to depths of 120 m (Fedorov 1973a). Survey data Found from Cape Lisburne in the Chukchi Sea south along the Alaska coast of the Bering Sea to Unalaska Island and east to eastern Kodiak Island, Alaska. Depth range 25 to 425 m, most frequently ( of occurrences) on the inner shelf between 0 and 50 m, and of occurrences from depths <150 m. Survey data were taken within the known geographic range. However, the data extend the maximum known depth to 425 m. Because the species is pelagic and trawls were demersal, the species may have been taken near the surface during deep tows. Conclusions Zoogeography Life zone Range Depth Arctic-amphiboreal (western boreal Atlantic-northern boreal Pacific) Fluvial-neritic (neritic) From Wonsan, North Korea, and Barkley Sound. British Columbia, to the Arctic as far as the White Sea and Bathurst Inlet, Canada, and from Lake Melville, Labrador, to the Delaware River, Pennsylvania (and questionably to Virginia
